Hello everyone, my name is Jarreau J Gaines and I will be teaching World History and Economics and Personal Finance this year. I'm originally from a small town in Louisiana called Port Sulphur, where I had a wonderful childhood. My family and I relocated after Hurricane Katriana to North Louisiana to get away from all of the storms. For me, being a teacher was always something that I wanted to do, but life kept getting in the way of me going back to college. In 2017, my wife put her foot down and said "go sign up for college now". In 2021, I received my BA in history from The University of Maryland Global College.
